Eaton 2A F Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 6.3 x 25mm

This range of fuses from Eaton Bussmann are fast-acting with high rupture capacity. They are suitable for various different uses, providing reliable performance and cost-effective circuit protection. They are ideal for use in plugs to protect cables from melting or catching fire if they are overloaded.

Why choose ceramic cartridge fuse?

Ceramic and glass cartridge fuses have similar properties. The capacity of a ceramic cartridge fuse is higher than other fuses, which means that ceramic fuses can be used in circuits that have a higher current rating. They are perfect for protecting against overheating.

What size is it?

This range of fuses is 6.3 x 25 mm, meaning they are 25mm long and 6.3mm in diameter.

What is HBC?

HBC stands for high breaking current and refers to the maximum current that the fuse can handle without breaking. It is also known as HRC (High Rupturing Capacity).

What Speed is it?

These fuses are “F” speed rated, which is short for Fast Acting. This is also known as fast blow and is popular in general purpose applications. They are designed not to handle current spikes over the rated current.

What voltage is it?

These cartridge fuses are available with 1 to 13 Amp current ratings for applications where the system voltage rating is 240 Volts AC.

What is Breaking Capacity?

Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or breaking. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit.

What are cartridge fuses used for?

• For the protection of components and equipment from costly damage used by over-current
• To isolate sub-systems from the main system once a fault has appeared

What is an overcurrent?

It is a setting where a circuit experiences a current that is higher than the normal operating current.

IEC 269-3A

Protect low-power equipment with this ceramic cartridge fuse from Eaton. If a spike in current occurs exceeding the rated value of 2A, this fuse quickly melts or blows, disconnecting the electrical supply. Its ceramic body absorbs damaging heat caused by overcurrent, and its nickel-plated caps are durable and resistant to rust. This HBC (high breaking capacity) fuse clears both high-fault and low-fault currents and won't deteriorate with age. It's ideally rated to safeguard appliances that run on a 240V mains supply, such as radios, fridge freezers or hair clippers.

• F-rated (fast acting) to protect equipment swiftly in the event of a fault
• Wide operating temperature range (-5°C to +35°C) for versatile use
• Isolates sub-systems such as plugged-in appliances from main systems to prevent damage

Breaking capacity is the current level that a fuse can handle without blowing. Choose your fuse according to the rating of your electrical appliance. For example, if you have a freezer unit rated 1.5A, a 2A-rated cartridge fuse is ideal.
